One of my patients called yesterday, desperately, asking if I would make some calls to get him into an Ophthalmologist here... I asked him if it was serious, he said no just some early cataracts.. he went on to tell me he had to do this by 12/31 because Obamacare will more than likely not pay for trip to an Ophtahlmolgist anymore... I asked him did he gets specific notice about this?... he said no, but basically all specialists will be cut out with Obamacare...

- now that was an awesome call. the best part is he was worried about his "spot" in our health system.. I told him most people of means are making large contribution to the hospital foundation to secure thier "spot" so to speak.. I just heard he committed to a 1M+ give over the next 4 years....

- Do I feel bad? Maybe a little... but that money will go a long way to helping keep programs alive here, and if someone want to be a moron, who I am I to tell them otherwise.. Million + for access to my cell phone for help, when I would have done it anyway, quite the deal....

Panic and Fear- such a great fundraising tool... and its not partisan, my liberal and conservative Richie Richs are coming out of the woodwork all over the place...

I sold a lot of my weapons during the gun/mag-grab scare earlier this year for twice the value. One gun for over three times it's value. I'll be replacing some of them now for a fraction of the cost.Panic & fear really are a great fundraisers. Just ask organized religion...

Feels good, doesn't it? Seperating a terrified automoton from their money is very easy....

Or the GOP. Gay people are coming for our children! Donate now! Commies are coming to burn our flags! Donate now!

I gotta say after seeing the new "solution" to the Obamacare fiasco - essentially ignoring the law - I have to just laugh. Dems really don't give a crap about anything that isn't convenient for them. Not the constitution, not the lives of the unborn and not their own laws that they wrote. Basically they don't want to have follow any rules they don't like - even when they made them. What a joke this President and his **** policies have been.

I doubt if convenience had anything to do with it. What stands out to me is that no Dems in the legislature are the ACA guys. This whole thing is owned by Obama. In the past, no matter what the new law, it seemed that there would be a couple of House and/or Senate members who were the go-to people on that law. In fact, the law would always be named after some legislator. The ACA seems to be a legislative orphan. That's why it has Obama's name on it. The legislators were willing to pass it under WH pressure, but not to own it. That's probably why its implementation has been a disaster.

it was already ruled constitutional,as far as the unborn? WTF does that have to do with the price of tea in china. besides what do have against womens rights.

not follow any rules? where were your complaints during the bush admin.?

If you think shutting down government is how to govern, then you're no better than the Tea Party 'idiots' and those in the GOP who pandered to them.

It's a destructive tantrum.....no matter which party of incompetents use it as a tactic.

Yeah, much better to give the Government free rein to talk behind the scenes about how many millions will lose their insurance, then when America smelt what they dealt, start looking around at everyone else pretending it wasn't them.

There are many instances where Government action is far worse than government inaction. This rolling fiasco is simply our last best example.

Conversely, should expanded background checks and waiting periods for firearms be forced into law by shutting down government??
